Comments on: Will supplement feeding kittens dry out the mother cat’s milk supply? http://www.healthstorebargains.com/blog/will-supplement-feeding-kittens-dry-out-the-mother-cats-milk-supply/ Tue, 22 May 2012 13:34:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Mama_Kat http://www.healthstorebargains.com/blog/will-supplement-feeding-kittens-dry-out-the-mother-cats-milk-supply/comment-page-1/#comment-5602 Mama_Kat Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:37:53 +0000 http://www.healthstorebargains.com/blog/will-supplement-feeding-kittens-dry-out-the-mother-cats-milk-supply/#comment-5602 The milk will not dry up as long as she is nursing. She probably has worms so I would discuss with the vet what to give her as a new mother. Also feed her as much as she wants. She is trying to replace her own body weight plus the kittens take a lot out of her. Let them nurse as long as they want, and supplement if you need to, but I would give the vet's office a call to find out for sure what is best. The section is good for information and advice, but a vet needs to pysically see the cat for a correct determination on what's good for that particular cat and kittens. The milk will not dry up as long as she is nursing.

Email me, and I'll see if I can help you. Her milk most likely won't dry out if you aren't feeding them all the time, but those kittens not eating for you...if the mother hasn't got enough milk, then you will have to start giving them the supplement...again, though, in order to give you advice on HOW to do that, I need to have a bit more of a definition than 'supplement'.
